Well congrats on the new arrival! I should tell you that having kids does change alot, more than just a body. As for youe concerns..Yes, sanity will return (though I am still waiting for mine~Father of 3, step father to 2). As for the "physical manifestations" of child birth..I can only say maybe. Granted I'm a guy and did not have to endure these changes from that perspective (so please ladies don't not hang me yet!), but from my experience some things do go back to "normal" some may not. Alot of it depends on things like genetics, lifestyle changes (not meaning "the" lifestyle) and luck.

Baby is going to to wear you her out, so you'll need to step up and assume your share. This will go along way towards the sanity thing and keep you from the couch. Giving her a break is the best form of help we could ever give. As for the stretch marks, while there are some "beauty" products available that may assist with this, for the most part they may only help some. Undoubtedly the moms on the board have to offer than I would on this subject. I can only speak from the husband's POV and as a past medical professional (not MD). Hope I was able to help some. Good luck.
